Hard L.A. Fest 2010 Cancelled

In a move that seems to be directly related to this year’s out of control Electric Daisy Carnival in Los Angeles, the 2010 Hard L.A. festival will be cancelled. M.I.A. was scheduled to headline along with appearances by Die Antwoord and Sleigh Bells. The Los Angeles County are attempting to “examine and enhance rave security” after the death of one 15 year old girl at Electric Daisy, along with other incidents at various Hard festivals held throughout the year. No word yet on how ticket refunds and the like will be handled, but look for an update when a statement is issued.

In good news, however, Hard Summer (the larger of the two festivals) is still scheduled for August 7th. Guests for Hard Summer include Soulwax, Crystal Castles, and Digitalism.
